Nashville Predators Acquire Grigori Denisenko From Vegas Golden Knights

The Nashville Predators have traded for forward Grigori Denisenko from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for future considerations. Denisenko, a 24-year-old winger, has only played one NHL game this season but has been productive in the AHL, scoring 10 goals and earning 24 points in 42 games with the Henderson Silver Knights. Originally drafted 15th overall by the Florida Panthers in 2018, Denisenko has struggled to establish himself in the NHL, recording seven assists in 33 career games across three seasons. His move to Nashville marks a potential fresh start for the former top prospect. This trade follows another acquisition by the Predators earlier this month, indicating a strategic approach to bolster their roster as they continue to navigate the season. Denisenko is a pending restricted free agent, carrying a cap hit of $775,000.
